Percutaneous vertebral augmentation is the most commonly used minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCF).The efficacy and safety have been widely recognized,however,there are still some complications of percutaneous vertebral augmentation.And the most common complication is bone cement leakage,which can lead to nerve root and spinal cord injury,increase the risk of secondary fractures of adjacent vertebral,and even cause serious complications such as pulmonary embolism.The diagnosis,classification,hazard,influence factors and preventive measures of bone cement leakage in vertebral augmentation for OCVF are reviewed in this paper,which will provide reference for prevention and treatment of bone cement leakage in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes and potential effects of differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in the development and progression of liver injury in a mouse model of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) induced by concanavalin A (ConA). MethodsEight healthy male specific pathogen-free C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into model group and control group, with four mice in each group. The mice in the model group were given tail vein injection of ConA 15 mg/kg, and those in the control group were given an equal volume of normal saline. All mice were sacrificed after 8 hours of modeling, Total RNA in liver tissue was extracted, gene microarray was used to screen out differentially expressed miRNAs, and target prediction and function analysis were performed for upregulated and downregulated miRNAs. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of differentially expressed miRNAs between two groups. ResultsThe principal component analysis showed that the inter-group difference of the data extracted by gene microarray met the conditions for further analysis. Compared with the control group, the model group had 31 upregulated miRNAs and 18 downregulated miRNAs in mouse liver, which had a regulatory relationship with 959 target genes (601 upregulated genes and 358 downregulated genes). GO analysis showed that in the model group, the target genes of the upregulated miRNAs mainly had the molecular functions such as “DNA binding” (P=1.47×10-6), participated in the biological processes such as “transcription, DNA-templated” (P=2.36×10-7), and were mainly enriched in the cellular components such as “neuronal cell body” (P=5.99×10-6), while the target genes of the downregulated miRNAs had the molecular functions such as “RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding” (P=2.49×10-6), participated in the biological processes such as “regulation of transcription, DNA-templated” (P=1.64×10-11), and were mainly enriched in the cellular components such as “nucleoplasm” (P=4.30×10-10). KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the target genes of the upregulated miRNAs were mainly enriched in “Endocytosis” (P=0.000 4), while the target genes of the downregulated miRNAs were mainly enriched in the “Hippo signaling pathway” (P=0.004), and the above functional analysis results were statistically significant (P＜0.05). ConclusionThere are differentially expressed miRNAs in the pathogenesis of AIH, and these differentially expressed miRNAs can provide new targets for the clinical treatment of AIH.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with thoracolumbar fractures.Methods A retrospective case-series study was performed on 12 AS patients with thoracolumbar fractures admitted from January 2013 to January 2016.There were 9 males and 3 females,aged (42.7 ± 13.0) years (range,24-63 years).All patients received percutaneous minimally invasive pedicle screw fixation.The operation duration,intraoperative blood loss,length of incision,ambulation time,and time to basic life were recorded.Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were evaluated before and after operation.Postoperative complications and bone fracture union were observed during the followup period.Results All patients were followed up for average 22 months (range,14-36 months).All patients underwent successful surgery,with operation duration and intraoperative blood loss of (178.0 ± 60.2) min and (116.7 ± 44.2) ml respectively.No serious complications such as blood vessel or nerve injury occurred during the operation.The incision length was 1.2-1.5 cm.All the patients were able to do exercise with the help of brace 2-3 days after the operation and returned to basic life after (23.4 ± 7.3)days postoperatively.At 1,3,6 and 12 months after operation,VAS and ODI differed significantly from the preoperative detections (P ＜ 0.05).During the follow-up,bone fracture union was observed in all patients,with no nail breakage or nail loosening occurred after operation.Conclusion For AS combined with thoracolumbar fractures,minimally invasive fixation can attain satisfactory curative effect,with advantages of minor lesion,little bleeding,fast recovery and sound bone union.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and prognosis of lung transplantation in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods Clinical data of one patient with end-stage CF undergoing allogeneic bilateral lung transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods and treatment strategies of the CF recipient were summarized. Results The recipient had suffered from relevant symptoms since childhood including repeated cough and purulent sputum for 30 years, complicated with recurrent pulmonary infection combined with acute exacerbation, chronic sinusitis and extremely severe malnutrition. Prior to lung transplantation, the patient had to depend upon the invasive ventilator due to respiratory muscle weakness, and admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) for a long time. Imaging examination revealed multiple cystic columnar bronchiectasis accompanied with infection in bilateral lungs. The diagnosis of CF was further confirmed by sweat test and gene detection. The recipient underwent bilateral lung transplantation on August 17, 2017 and received rehabilitation treatment. The lung function was gradually restored to normal. The recipient had obtained the same quality of life to the healthy counterparts since the date of manuscript submission (over 2 years). Conclusions Lung transplantation is an efficacious treatment for end-stage CF, which can not only save patients' lives, but also significantly improve the quality of life of patients.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the common early complications after lung transplantation, which not only increases the short-term and long-term fatality of lung transplant recipients, but also significantly increases the incidence of long-term chronic renal insufficiency after surgery. In recent years, early AKI after lung transplantation has attracted high attention along with the rapid development of lung transplantation in China. In this article, research progresses on diagnosis, incidence, risk factors, prevention and treatment of early AKI after lung transplantation around the globe were reviewed, aiming to better identify the risk factors and poor prognosis of early AKI after lung transplantation, and provide theoretical and practical guidance for early clinical interventions.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for futile recanalization in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EMT), and establish a nomogram model predicting futile recanalization in these patients.Methods:One hundred and eighty-eight patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion after EMT were enrolled from Department of Neurology, Zhongshan Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to December 2021. Patients were divided into futile recanalization group and effective recanalization group according to whether futile recanalization occurred; futile recanalization was defined as successful recanalization showed by immediate postoperative DSA (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction [mTICI] ≥2b), but poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] scores>2 90 d after surgery). The clinical data were compared between futile recanalization group and effective recanalization group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors for futile recanalization. R software was used to establish a nomogram model for futile recanalization. C-index was used to evaluate the differentiation of the model, and correction curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of the line graph model prediction. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the nomogram model.Results:Ninety-two patients had futile recanalization. Compared with the effective recanalization group, futile recanalization group had significantly older age, significantly higher hemoglobin A1c on admission, significantly longer time from puncture to vascular recanalization, significantly higher proportions of patients with hypertension history and poor collateral circulation, and significantly different severities of stroke and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and distribution of occlusive sites ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, history of hypertension, time from puncture to vascular recanalization, poor collateral circulation, severe WMHs, and moderate-severe stroke were independent risk factors for futile recanalization after EMT in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion ( P<0.05). A nomogram model of futile recanalization was established according to the above 6 factors, with C-index of 0.862 ( 95%CI: 0.809-0.914); the calibration curve of the model was highly coordinated to the ideal model curve; area under the ROC curve of futile recanalization was 0.862 ( 95%CI: 0.809-0.914, P<0.001). Conclusions:Acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion patients with older age, history of hypertension, longer time from puncture to vascular recanalization, poor collateral circulation, severe WMHs, and moderate-severe stroke trend to have futile recanalization after EMT. This nomogram can predict futile recanalization after EMT.
